Security training has become the foundation of societal resilience, often necessary for organizational effectiveness. The State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is a designated National Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in cybersecurity education and a CAE in cybersecurity research (CAE-R). UB will leverage this security foundation by participating in the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly qualified cybersecurity professionals to enter the federal workforce. This project builds on a successful program and develops a comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum based on security best practices, experiential learning, and applied research. It will develop authentic pathways to cybersecurity by expanding the program's scope to include undergraduate students and by recruiting students for graduate studies. This project also plans to inspire middle and high school students to become security problem solvers and security professionals. The project will provide scholars with an enhanced, interdisciplinary cybersecurity experience by engaging faculty from computer science, engineering and management sciences with support from mathematics and law at UB. This project will continue to develop and sustain a successful, broad cybersecurity program by building on existing research on ransomware, blockchain technology, and information authenticity. The project will train 24 students in four cohorts in both technical and managerial paths. A minor in cybersecurity will be offered for undergraduate students and an advanced certificate for graduate students specializing in cybersecurity. UB will leverage the state-of-the-art resources in Buffalo's Regional Computer Forensics Lab (RCFL) to offer 15 high-level experience-based courses. These courses include Software Testing, Blockchain Application Development, Systems Security, Network Security, Privacy, Ethics, and an integrative Information Assurance course that will prepare students for industry certification. The project team will actively engage underrepresented groups through the local Minority Management Society, the SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program, and the Women in Management and Engineering and Science groups to recruit students and conduct cybersecurity awareness workshops in Buffalo. Partnerships with local industries will allow educational opportunities and talent development in the emerging domains of artificial intelligence, analytics, and blockchain technology. These stakeholder engagement opportunities will broaden the impact of the project’s cybersecurity efforts within the community. This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.  This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

安全培训已成为社会韧性的基础，通常是组织有效性所必需的。纽约州立大学布法罗大学（UB）是指定的网络安全教育学术卓越学术中心（CAE）和网络安全研究（CAE-R）的CAE。 UB将通过参加网络核心（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划来准备高素质的网络安全专业人员来进入联邦劳动力，以利用这一安全基金会。该项目以成功的计划为基础，并根据安全最佳实践，专家学习和应用研究开发全面的网络安全课程。它将通过扩大该计划的范围以包括本科生和招募学生进行研究生学习，从而开发真实的网络安全途径。该项目还计划激发中学生和高中生成为安全。问题解决者和安全专业人员。该项目将在UB的数学和法律的支持下，通过与计算机科学，工程和管理科学的教师互动，从而为学者提供增强的跨学科网络安全体验。该项目将通过建立有关勒索软件，区块链技术和信息真实性的现有研究，继续开发并维持成功的广泛网络安全计划。该项目将在技术和管理道路上培训24名学生。将为本科生提供网络安全的未成年人，并为专门从事网络安全的研究生提供高级证书。 UB将利用Buffalo区域计算机取证实验室（RCFL）的最先进资源提供15个高级经验课程。这些课程包括软件测试，区块链应用程序开发，系统安全，网络安全，隐私，道德和集成信息保证课程，这将使学生为行业认证做好准备。项目团队将通过当地少数民族管理协会，纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯联盟（SUNY LOUIS Stokes Alliance for Minor Cassitation计划）和管理和工程和科学小组的妇女招募学生并在布法罗举办网络安全意识研讨会。与当地行业的合作伙伴关系将允许在人工智能，分析和区块链技术的新兴领域的教育机会和人才发展。这些利益相关者的参与机会将扩大该项目在社区中的网络安全工作的影响。该项目得到了Cyber​​corps®服务奖学金（SFS）计划的支持，该计划资助建立或持续的网络安全科学计划，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以开发出色的网络安全劳动力。毕业后，奖学金获得者必须在与科学支持相同的持续时间内为联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来评估。
